Just bought tickets for Chicago to Phoenix for my grandkids -- but dropped the last letter of my 13-year old granddaughter's name (Vanessa to "Vaness"). Is TSA going to hassle me when we board the plane?

Did the confirmation you receive have her name spelled correctly or did you make the error?

The airline might give her a hard time. If you are in the US and bought through the airline and she is flying in more than 7 days you need to immediately cancel the ticket and buy another fo correct it or call the airline and ask them to correct it. You have 24 hours to do it.

I believe a missing letter can be corrected by the airline without issue. I tried to find that info on United’s website without luck. Usually if it’s only a one letter mistake, they will work with you.

I agree and if domestic they do not require a 13 tr old to have Valid ID of any kind. I actually think you are fine if you are flying internationally then it must be fixed as it won’t match her passport.

You might reach out to UA thru their Message system on FB. The Social Media people on UA Facebook page are actual CS that can assist (if they choose to help)
Is this an International Flight???? 13 yr olds do not need ID if a Domestic Flight.

YES! Just give United a call. If your call is answered by a pill, excuse yourself politely and call back. UA has some very good agents and I'll bet they'll just fix it for you. Be as charming as you can manage and admit that you made the mistake right up front and how terribly sorry you are to bother them.
